Checking the website of the shop wherein the machine was originally purchased, to my delight I found a similar model reduced in price by 50%, available for delivery tomorrow. By 07:10 I had ordered and paid for the thing and within moments had confirmation of delivery tomorrow.

The internet / rampant consumerism is a wonderful thing.

Is there a specific reason why you don't just run around outside?

Do you not live in the countryside as such??

Yes, but my poor old knees, stripped of cartilage as they are, do not respond well to running on pavement. The bit of padding on a treadmill allows me to exercise. Hurrah for treadmills!

Well yes. I ran for a very short period a few years ago, in a gym for a period and then when the summer came I moved onto Marley Park.

Second trip out I banjaxed my achilles tendon areas and decided there and then that running was for poofs and second hand car dealers.

I took up regular running some 5 years ago, and now I run 5 or 6 days a week. I confess, I find it rather exhilirating.

Plus, I am a greedy fúcker and if I didn't do plenty of exercise, given the amount I eat and drink, I'd be a 30 stone shut in within months.

This makes me feel better about the nightmare I had from Curry's in bleeding Tottnumb Hale. The fridge was excellent in the end though. Being able to store cans of beer vertically instead of horizontally improved life significantly. Basically I could store twice as many cans! :-D :cloud9:
